Defense attorneys say a private, recorded conversation between the trial judge and the district attorney tainted the case of Eric Bard, who was convicted of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old and sentenced to 50 years in prison.

At issue is whether the special counsel's team is tainted after it's revealed that an FBI agent was removed from the Russia probe last summer when it was discovered that he called Trump, when he was a candidate, an 'idiot' and 'loathsome.'
